Sunday Randomness #94 : Old advertisements #1

Introducing the public to the new library computer catalog system.

Sunday Randomness #245 : a little leap to Las Vegas for a few days part 9 (last part!)

And what would be a trip to Las Vegas, NV without some shopping?  We just window shopped other than treats and experiences like the wax museum but there was something for almost anyone who is into retail consumption.  Like re-imagined movie figures...

There are lots of oxygen bars if you feel the need to breathe regular air oxygen infused with scent. 

 We found quite a few fun items at this shop with the dragon.

Thanks to all the many friends (and a couple of very specific ones) who helped us plan before and during our trip.  They helped us to have a great experience and we ended up seeing and accomplishing more touristy things than we originally planned.  Who knows?  We might even go back someday since Las Vegas has a lot to offer to everyone and not just to the gambling clientele.

Across the street from entering the Fremont Street Exprience.

The pictures above shows some of the light show on the roof over Fremont St.

 Fremont St has certainly changed from when I saw the man on the horse many, many years ago.  Back then you could easily drive down this strip of Las Vegas which was famous for casinos and other things even then.
